European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits. -

It is than natural to denote 2019 as Europe’s “Year of Change”. As we prepare to launch this year’s Prague European Summit conference, we anxiously await the results of the European Parliament election that may determine the Union’s course for the foreseeable future. Shortly, we will see the formation of a new Commission with a new President at the helm. We will, no doubt, see new developments in the ongoing transformation of the transatlantic relationship – but hopefully no further drifts apart – and in the Union’s efforts to shore up and protect its own sovereignty in external affairs and security in the face of global uncertainties. We will most likely see a resolution of the tumultuous, chaotic and mutually damaging situation that is Brexit, with repercussions for the future of the EU27 and its relationship with the United Kingdom. We will see the shape of the new Europe, of its political and social framework, and how it will shape our own discourse and endeavours for the course of the next five years. In the fast-paced world of European politics, progress may have already taken place in some of these areas as we enter the fifth iteration of the Prague European Summit. -

He immediately added that we, the Europeans, must chart the direction of the future, and “catch the trade winds in our sails” to move forward in advancing the European idea and the vision of peace and prosperity on the continent. Making a case for a more united, stronger and more democratic Europe, Juncker offered earlier during the year five scenarios embodying the possible future of European integration: carrying on, nothing but the single market, those who want more do more, doing less more efficiently, and doing much more together. -

Annual Report 2018
European Ombudsman Annual Report 2018 Annual Report - 14/05/2019 Introduction Emily O’Reilly, European Ombudsman It is a great pleasure to present our Annual Report for 2018 for the office of the European Ombudsman. The office has seen a strong increase in complaints inside my mandate from citizens, civil society, businesses and media. I attribute this not to worsening standards of administration within the EU but because of a higher awareness of the work my office does and the positive outcomes we can achieve. I am grateful to the EU institutions, agencies and bodies for their cooperation in this work and to the European Parliament in particular for its continuing support. This year was also notable for the use of one of the Ombudsman’s infrequently used powers: that of submitting a Special Report to the European Parliament which I did in a report concerning the accountability of the Council of the European Union. For many decades public perception of the EU has been partly shaped by the damaging myth that national governments have little or no say over the making of EU laws. It is therefore important for EU democracy and for informed public debate that this myth be challenged. Therefore, as the public has a right to know how their governments contribute to the making of EU legislation, I asked the European Parliament to support my proposals to improve legislative transparency in the Council. I was very grateful to Members of Parliament for giving such strong backing to my proposals and I hope that it will lead to concrete change before the 2019 European elections.
